Embedding Pinterest Content
Our website uses features from the social media service Pinterest, provided by Pinterest Inc., 651 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

When a Pinterest “Pin” is embedded (for example, via an iFrame), a connection to Pinterest's servers is established when the page is loaded. In the process, Pinterest may collect information such as your IP address and browser details—even if you are not logged into Pinterest. If you are logged into Pinterest, the platform may associate your visit to our website with your Pinterest account.

The use of Pinterest content enhances the visual appeal of our website and allows us to share curated or original Pins. This is considered a legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. However, embedded content from Pinterest is only loaded if you have given consent through our cookie banner.
